    Hmm So you could Run Mac, and Windows with demanding programs like adobe Director on the Mac and then some sort of game that you can play everynow and then on the windows? I think that's pretty cool...

    We've started using Virtual Machines in College while we do some work on Adobe Director but because all the Macs are fitted with 1gb of Ram, they are incredibly slow when you're also running Virtual Box... >_<

    Not exactly, virtual machines are rarely capable of running games (the virtual hardware is very limited). But I can emulate an entire network of servers for software testing, or I can test software on different versions of windows, or different windows installs with different browsers for web development.

    I've had no problems with 1TB
    Plus I download HD videos which run about 1-5 gigs each that space fills up quickly.

    I recommend dodging any hard-drive bigger than 1TB. like 1.5 and such, I've heard nothing but problems...

    Also, man who said Pervert 1TB Device, memory is like women. You can never have to much :D

    I only heard of problems with seagate 1.5TB drives, and patton says they've now fixed them. the problem itself wasnt limited to 1.5TB drives, but all drives manufactured with a certain firmware.

    There is a reason why Romulation only allows .RAR Archive/compressed files!

    thats well out of date, I have far more disk space than that now, and I dont use seagate anymore.
